Use RCON Commands
Set up and use RCON for remote server administration on your Valheim dedicated server.
RCON (Remote Console) lets you send commands to your Valheim server without being connected in-game. This is useful for managing the server remotely or automating tasks.
Valheim RCON Support
📝 Note: Valheim's native RCON support is limited. The server responds to basic Source RCON protocol queries but doesn't support all admin commands via RCON. For full remote management, use the XGamingServer Console panel or connect in-game.
Using the Console Panel
The easiest way to manage your server remotely is through the XGamingServer panel:
Go to Console
In the sidebar, click Console.
View server output
The console shows real-time server logs including player connections and disconnections.
Enter commands
Type commands directly into the console input at the bottom of the page.
Available Remote Commands
Commands that work through the panel console are limited to what the Valheim server binary accepts:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
save | Force save the world |
info | Show server information |
💡 Tip: For full admin commands (kick, ban, teleport, etc.), connect to the server in-game with an admin account. See Console Commands.
Third-Party RCON Tools
If you need RCON access, these tools support the Source RCON protocol:
- RCON CLI — command-line RCON client
- mcrcon — lightweight console-based client
- RCON Web — browser-based RCON interface
Connect to your server's IP on the game port to use these tools.
